Convenient Ways to Pay Your Bill

Each month you will receive a bill for your premium. You can continue to use your insurance as long as you keep your payments up to date. If you purchased your own coverage, you will have to pay your first premium before you can start using your benefits. If you would like to receive your bill in Spanish, call the Customer Service number on the back of your member ID card. Customer Service will record your preference.
